He has a long list of successes, and has received more than $30,000 in scholarships toward his university education.Drew’s a barrier-buster AJAX GRAD WON’T STAY SILENT ABOUT DEAFNESS BY CRYSTAL CRIMI ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Growing up, Drew Mastromar- tino often cried himself to sleep. As a deaf boy raised in a hearing world, he wasn’t bullied, but often felt ignored and frustrated. “It’s easy to forget the childhood some- times,” Drew said, sitting at his kitchen table in Whitby -- his hearing impairment almost completely unnoticeable now. On his way to York University this fall with $37,500 in scholarships, Drew hopes to inspire others with special needs to over- come the struggles they face. “I saw the bad was actually necessary for me to have the successes,” said Drew, win- ner of the Terry Fox Humanitarian Award See AJAX page 11 Dundee Private Investors Inc. 244 Kingston Rd.

Bar hoppers will be coming out in droves over the next few months as sum- mer kicks into full gear and many bar- tenders, like Ashlee Grant of J.P. Fitzpat- rick and Son in Whitby, are preparing for the worst. Popular events that attract large crowds pose the greatest risk of potential prob- lems, like a live performance from a Bon Jovi tribute band that took the stage recently. “Most of the people coming in were already wasted before they got here so it’s hard to know when someone’s ready to be cut off before they’ve even had a drink here,” Ms. Grant said. “It’s on me as a bartender and the res- taurant if anything happens to them once they leave -- we’re responsible for it.” The site is just one of dozens of establish- ments across the region that have joined the Durham Safer Bars and Communities Coalition, an organization which aims to protect residents from the dangers that accompany alcohol consumption. Established in 2001 and funded through the Durham Region health department, this non-profit group of agencies, com- munity groups and industry workers is committed to the responsible service and use of alcohol. “Our biggest cause is really the network- ing between licensed establishments and the training that goes on between them,” said Pam Frisby, public health nurse with the department. “It’s a time when all the establishments can come together and learn from each other and we provide the resources and have these workshops for their benefit, which ultimately benefits the community.” The coalition currently has about 15 members representing a wide variety of major groups scattered across each municipality in the region. Membership is open to the nearly 200 licensed establish- ments and stakeholders including restau- rants, bars, legions, golf courses, sporting arenas and other municipal facilities. “Any time you’re trying to bring about changes in the community, you have to involve all the people who it affects so it takes people who are working in the industry and that’s why we’re working with them to change attitudes, while also attempting to get the public to rethink their own behaviour,” Ms. Frisby said. Common inquires that surface during workshops include legal questions about liability and alcohol policy, the most pro- ductive methods of diffusing problematic situations and even such tasks as how to determine whether someone’s identifica- tion is valid. Sandra Whitehead, co-owner of J.P. Fitz- patrick and Son and a standing member of the coalition, said she has seen a tre- mendous improvement in the access to information. “It’s getting that information out there and having a better understanding of alcohol and overconsumption and dan- gers so people can respond in a more non-threatening way,” she said. “It’s easy to respond to a RIDE check when you get caught and you’re charged and your car is taken away or you might end up in jail, but we want to prevent get- ting to that stage through planning.” For more information: CALL 905-666-6241 or 1-800-841-2729 EMAIL pam.frisby@region.durham. on.ca VISIT Facebook group COALITION GOALS • To increase awareness of personal and social impact of irresponsible service of alcohol; • To increase knowledge of bar owners/worker’s liability related to serving alcohol; • To increase knowledge of low-risk drinking guidelines; • To increase the adoption of safe alcohol serv- ing and consumption practices by bar owners, workers and patrons. WHITBY -- Ashlee Grant, a bartender at J.P. Fitzpatrick and Son, poured a drink for a patron. The bar is one of many involved with the Safer Bars and Communities Coalition, which has a mandate of providing education to establishments in serving alcohol safely.

Madison Naar, 12, hosts dances, sells lollipops to help eliminate disease BY KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Madison Naar looks forward to an event that keeps her up for more than 24 hours each year. The 12-year-old Pickering girl works tire- lessly to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society’s annual Relay for Life, an event she’s taken part in for the past six years. For the 2009 relay in June she sold lollipops, reindeer Christmas crafts and held movie nights and dances in her basement, collecting money to fight cancer. Last year, the Fair- port Beach Pub- lic School student and team captain of Revenge of the Cures (a play on the movie, Revenge of the Nerds), raised $4,877.52, and her 11-person team earned $9,508 in total. On the night of the fundraiser at Oshawa Civic Fields, the team dressed up in “nerd” costumes. “I like raising money and I want to make cancer history and to remember the people we’ve lost,” she said. Madison has lost a number of family mem- bers to cancer including three great-grand- parents, a grandfather, and aunts. Relay for Life is an overnight, 12-hour, non- competitive event where people come togeth- er to celebrate survivors, remember loved ones and fight back to find a cure for cancer. But for Madison, the event is around 24 hours because she helps set up; she leaves for the day at 6:30 a.m. and the relay goes until 7 a.m. the next day. Madison’s mother, Kim Naar, a member of the organizing committee for Durham’s relays, is proud of her daughter. “She comes to all the meetings,” she said, adding Madison came second overall in online collections. In fact, she’s impressed with all the young people who have participated in the relay over the past few years. “They’re the ones who are going to continue on to make it successful,” she said.

Dan Remollino, Ministry of Transportation (MTO) senior project manager, provided an update on the 407 east environmental assessment and preliminary design study. The draft EA report is in the midst of a five-week review, which is accepting comments from the public and agencies until Monday, July 20, and is set to go back to the minister of transportation this summer. The highway is designed to be extended from Brock Road to Hwy. 35/115 in Clarington, including a couple of connections to Hwy. 401 in Whitby and Clarington. A number of councillors showed concern for what could happen to a historical residence - known as “The Rogers Property” - on Salem Road, which sits in the highway’s path. The Province had conducted a heritage assessment of the property in November, 2003. The house was built around 1851, and is accompanied by a coach house, a workshop, a stone barn, and a wooden barn, which the study deemed to be of great historical significance. “If at all possible, the buildings should be left in situ (where the building currently sits), with the property subjected to protective measures such as a heritage easement of re-designation under the Ontario Heri- tage Act,” the report stated. Although there were alternative recommendations, such as moving the buildings, the above was the pref- erence. Mr. Remollino said although a study was conducted, another may have to be done as part of the process. “We’re well aware of this significant property but there are tough decisions that have to be made,” he said, adding it’s difficult to avoid all the impacts. Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson didn’t think putting an interchange at Westney Road made sense, and thought it should be moved to Sideline 8, which is developable land, since the Westney Road area is designated as Greenbelt land. “So now we’re putting an interchange where we’re not going to build any roads,” he said. Mr. Remollino said it may be a little late in the pro- cess to make alignment changes. “We can go back and take a look at this but I am suggesting at this time it could be difficult to make those changes,” he said. Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles argued that shouldn’t be a problem, given the plans are currently undergoing public consultation. “If it’s all done, what’s the point?” he said. Mr. Remollino said changes can be made to the exist- ing footprint easier than big ones, but he’d relay the concerns back to the minister. Councillors also disagreed with limited sidewalks and bike paths since adding them in the future will be more costly. The report is available to the public at municipal clerks departments throughout Durham and on the study website, www.407eastea.com.

SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND WHITBY -- Above, as the motorcade carried the body of Corporal Nicholas Bulger along the Highway of Heroes July 6, Kelly Yeomans, far left, shed tears. She was Cpl. Bulger’s high school prom date. Carrie McLeod, who also went to high school with Cpl Bulger, was consoled by Molcolm Chartrand. Cpl Bulger was the 121st Canadian soldier to die in Afghanistan since the mission started in 2002. Mr. Chartrand, who served in the navy, stood on the overpass for the 24th time to pay his respects. At left, the flag wavers were out in full force to pay their respects. WHITBY -- Kelly Yeomans went to the high school prom with Corporal Nich- olas Bulger and clutched the prom pic- ture as she waited for the motorcade carrying his body to pass. She broke down in tears just after the hearse went by on the Highway Of Heroes Monday afternoon. Ms. Yeomans was among dozens of people who gathered on the Brock Street bridge in Whitby to honour Cpl. Bulger, 30, who was killed Saturday in a road- side explosion in Afghanistan. Cpl. Bulger, whose hometown is Buck- horn, north of Peterborough, about an hour’s drive away, was the 121st Canadi- an soldier to be killed since April 2002. Carrie McLeod, a high school class- mate, said she had spoken recently to Cpl. Bulger on MSN and was looking forward to seeing him at an upcoming family barbecue. Instead, she found herself on a high- way overpass saying goodbye. Cpl. Bulger last lived in Edmonton with his wife and daughters, age 4 and 2. -- with files from Torstar news services REPATRIATION THURSDAY DURHAM -- The bodies of Canada’s latest fallen soldiers will return home for a repatriation cere- mony on Thursday afternoon. Master Corporal Pat Audet, 38, and Corporal Martin Joannette, 25, were killed in a crash during a helicopter take-off attempt in southern Afghani- stan on Monday. Both soldiers, air crew members based at the Canadian Forces Base in Valcartier, Quebec, were pronounced dead at the scene. The crash, involving a CH-146 Griffon, also took the life one other coalition soldier from another coun- try and injured three other Canadian soldiers. An armed forces news release said the inci- dent did not occur as a result of enemy fire and an Air Wing Safety investigation has been launched. A repatriation ceremony will be held in Trenton at 2 p.m. on Thursday, July 9, with the motorcade travelling through Durham at about 3:30 p.m. AFGHANISTAN MISSION School friends bid farewell to soldier WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com & A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions CELEBRATION Rock and roll Pickering party was a blast To the editor: Hats off to rock and roll Mayor Dave Ryan and his council for a great Canada Day cel- ebration. From the shuttle service to the amazing booking of Kim Mitchell, once more you’ve proven that you don’t have to be in a big city to have a great party. Well done! Tim Gladney Pickering ENVIRONMENT Thanks to councillors who listened to constituents To the editor: Re: Durham councillors OK incinerator, June 26. It is a shame what kind of representatives we had voting on this extremely important issue. Instead of capitalizing on an oppor- tunity to be true leaders in municipal waste management in Canada, they took a back- wards step and chose the incinerator as an easy way out. Easy if you are not concerned about your environment, health or taxes! Constituents’ delegations may have been added to the final report going to the Min- istry of the Environment, but those coun- cillors who voted ‘yes’ had made up their minds long before and simply did not lis- ten to their constituents. Anyone present on June 24 can attest that Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan arrived at 2:50 p.m. and Ajax Councillor Scott Crawford at 5:05 p.m. The meeting started at 10 a.m. The one councillor absent the most was Whitby Mayor Pat Perkins who, when present, also was on her Blackberry continuously. Is this the kind of representation we want and deserve? To those planning on voting in the next municipal election, I urge you to attend one of the Regional council meet- ings to witness this behaviour with your own eyes. Adding to the insult is the fact that the Regional chairman is not a public- ly elected position. Is this democracy? A public thank you is due to council- lors who did listen to their constituents: April Cullen, Joe Drumm, John Gray, John Henry, Colleen Jordan, Bonnie Littley, Robert Lutczyk, Don Mitchell, John Neal, Brian Nicholson and Steve Parish, and also to the three Clarington local councillors, Adrian Foster, Ron Hooper and Willie Woo, who all remained steadfast in their oppo- sition and chose to provide true represen- tation of their constituents’ wishes in this matter. We need more politicians like you. Anne Maxwell Whitby THANKS Senior appreciates help of teenager To the editor: After leaving the Ajax library on Friday, June 26, and attempting to walk the short dis- tance to my home, I realized that my book bag was a little heavier than I could comfort- ably carry. I was struggling somewhat when a voice behind me said: “Excuse me, but are you having trouble trying to carry your bag?” I turned and was greeted by a pretty young girl who said: “I’ll carry your bag for you.” I thanked her but protested saying: “I only have a short distance to go.” She replied, “I’ll walk you home” and, with that, she reached down and picked up my bag. During our walk I found out that Katelyn is 17 years old and seeking a summer job. What an asset she would be to any employer! I am a senior and sometimes find myself struggling with everyday tasks. This act of kindness by a total stranger is one of the nicest things to happen to me in a long time. Unfortunate- ly, all too often we hear negative things about the young people in our communities. I just had to write to say how blessed we are to have caring and helpful kids like Katelyn. E.C. Dorsey Ajax Local student shows courage as he makes huge difference It would be easy to feel sorry for Whitby teenager Drew Mastromartino. After all, the young man was born deaf and, as a small boy, grew up crying himself to sleep. But from a sad childhood has developed a truly incredible story, one that should make all who meet him gape in wonder over the obstacles Drew has overcome. Consider that this young man, who attended Notre Dame Catholic Second- ary School and Pickering High School during his secondary school years, has racked up a whopping $37,500 in aca- demic scholarships as he heads off to York University to continue his education this fall. Of course, it hasn’t been easy. Not too many years ago, he was tak- ing out his frustrations in the classroom in fist fights with other students. Under- standable really given that he struggled so hard to be understood and to commu- nicate despite his profound disability. Drew now understands he had to go through the tough times to come out at the other end a leader, as someone who is looked up to. He used hearing aids up to age 12 though they weren’t very suc- cessful. Once he had cochlear implants installed, however, he noticed a huge improvement. He was also able to make great strides in high school with the help of his deaf- specialist teacher, Melissa Church of the Durham Catholic District School Board. It was all difficult sledding for Drew and he would sometimes storm out of the sessions he had with Ms. Church. There were, to put it kindly, plenty of growing pains. Confusing times in the life of an adolescent with special chal- lenges. But Drew persevered and developed. He learned sign language and attended deaf camp to experience deaf culture. To really get a handle on how it feels, he took out his hearing aid while at the camp and was completely deaf for two weeks. “It was a completely different world from the hearing world,” he said. He has returned as a volunteer and as a counsel- lor. Drew has gone on to direct high school dramas, directing a production and win- ning a festival award. And, in Grade 11, he truly emerged, writing a speech entitled “Why me? Why not?” The speech was his way of show- ing he could be as good as anyone else. He has since proved it by totalling up an amazing 1,000 volunteer hours and serv- ing as president of IMPACT, a social jus- tice group. And now Drew is off to York, where he hopes to make films and to prove that anyone can overcome challenges and can make a difference. After all, he’s living proof of that. e-mail letters to newsroom@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / please include your full first and last name, city of residence & daytime phone number / letters that do not appear in print may be published @ newsdurhamregion.com newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 8, 20096 P WE ASKED One of the things that drives me crazy is people who don’t identify themselves on the phone. I’m not talking about the heavy breathers or the dirty talkers. That’s differ- ent. Knowing who they are just takes the fun out of it. No, I’m talking about this kind of scenario: “Hello.” “Hey, how you doing?” (Pause while Neil rolls his eyes) “Who is this?” “It’s Bob! Who’d you think it was?” Oh, I don’t know... maybe someone who had the manners of a seven-year old? It makes me crazy. Mostly because I am then put in the position of having to utter that somewhat embarrassing, bordering on rude phrase “Who is this?” To which, the offending party almost always responds in a tone intended to make me feel like I must be an idiot to not have recognized “Bob” or “Vern” or “Mom.” I’m a fairly quick study, but I’m not clair- voyant. Nor do I have the ubiquitous “Call Display.” In fact, I think Bell should bundle a new item into their phone service package. How about “Call Etiquette” or “Manner Mode” or “You’re not that important.” Just a little something to remind people to introduce themselves to the party they’re calling. You know, a nice, soothing female voice... “Thank you for using Bell. You are now being connected. Remember the person you are calling may not recognize your voice or know who you are. They may not even like you.” Not all of us, after all, are hanging by the phone awaiting your call. I’ve no empirical data on this but I have to wonder if these aren’t the same people who never introduce themselves when you meet them in person. This one really frosts me. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve met people, adults mind you, who pull this kind of stunt: “Hi there, I’m Neil.” (hand extended) “Oh hi. Nice to meet you.” (nothing) Thanks to this gaff, I’m now left with sev- eral painful options. A) Sigh and using my best “talking to a two-year-old” voice, ask “And does-sums have a name?” B) Assume I’m talking to a CIA operative or someone in the Witness Protection Pro- gram. C) Ditch the loser and head for the bar. Which would you choose? One of the few drawbacks of whatever lit- tle celebrity I may enjoy is that because I am in the public eye more than the aver- age bear, people see me much more often than I see them. This sometimes results in people I’ve never met or not seen in many waist-expanding, hair-line receding years, speaking to me as though we were soul mates for whom time had stood still. My wife, thankfully, now runs interfer- ence for me during these encounters, but for the longest time I had no idea how to handle them and was either too polite or too timid to stop and ask who it was I was talking to. Without a word of a lie, I’ve had half-hour-long, very personal, even inti- mate discussions with individuals whose identity was, and still is, a complete mys- tery to me. Introduce yourself. It’s never a waste of time and it’s just plain good manners. If you call me and say “Hi Neil, it’s Doug,” I will not, provided Doug is your name, think you stupid or backward. On the contrary, I will silently thank you for taking the burden of guessing from me and our relationship will be the richer for it. Hell, I still identify myself when I call my parents.

There are always more stories and photos we can put in the paper but we are limited by the amount of space avail- able to us. That’s where our website, news- durhamregion.com, plays a huge part in our ability to deliver the news because the space online is endless. Every story we write is also online. “Why do I only read about bad news?” That isn’t true. Yes, bad news can domi- nate a newspaper but as a community paper we also strive to tell stories of the wonderful things people do in our communities. For example, just a quick look through Friday’s issue of The News Advertiser shows we had a story on an Ajax boy collecting pennies for the Hospital for Sick Children and Pickering’s “humble” senior of the year. In This Week we had stories on a Courtice teen who set up his own business and a Scugog man who helped launch the new Oshawa International Festi- val. But my favourite call this past week hap- pened not once, but twice. “How much would it cost to buy the front page of the newspaper?” Many of the reporters working at a news- paper assume readers know what goes on within our four walls. I have to remind them that isn’t the case and that really hit home with this question. One of the callers wanted to pay for a front page story on an issue. For the record, except for the advertisements, the front page cannot be bought. There are a number of factors which go into deciding which story goes on the front page, including relevance to the community and the photo which accompanies the story, but money isn’t one of them. Readers can offer their opinion on our choices, and they usually do, but that’s another great thing about newspapers. There’s always something in them to argue about.

In November 2008, the Regional Municipalities of York and Durham submitted the Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer IEA Report to address the additional sanitary sewer fl ows projected from future growth required under the Provincial Places to Grow Act. As part of this IEA, an odour control strategy was developed, which included construction of an odour control facility (OCF) at Altona Road. In response to Durham Council’s resolution from March 11, 2009 to relocate the OCF and to public input received at the Public Information Forum on May 13, 2009, a location in York Region has been identifi ed as the new site for the odour control facility.

That’s the advice for garden- ers who want to have a beautiful garden and a small impact on the environment at the same time. But aren’t gardens green to begin with? Not necessarily, say the experts. If the flowers and plants you grow require large amounts of water and fertilizers to keep them healthy, it’s time to rethink things. So what should you be grow- ing? “Anything that doesn’t require a lot of water,” said gardener Veron- ica Sliva, a Whitby resident and director of Region VII of the Gar- den Writers Association. And to that end, she suggests gardeners go with native plants. They are, obviously, adapted for our climate and require less maintenance. “Gardening with native plants is often cheaper, easier and can use less water, pesticides and fertiliz- ers than with non-native plants. Native plants are always the best choice to attract and support birds, butterflies and other native wildlife. Our native plants tend to be drought-resistant,“ Ms. Sliva said. And in our summers, that’s a very good thing. Kathryn Carnegie, of Prince Albert, said gardeners really need to rethink their use of succulent annuals. “There’s nothing like annu- als for giving a splash of colour (but) I would strenuously suggest cutting back on planting large amounts of annuals” which require large amounts of water to survive, she said. That means lay off the impatiens. Try geraniums instead since they require less water once they are established, she said. As a national Communities in Bloom judge, she’s trying to get gardeners to think of the impact their gardens have on the environment. Showy masses of annuals aren’t the best, she said, adding she realizes it’ll take time to get everyone to change their ways. Perennials, especially ones that don’t require much water, are recommended. They might not be as wildly colourful but they provide texture and a good green base to work with, she said. Hos- tas, with many new varieties and shades of green and white, are great additions to any shade gar- den. Other good additions are echi- nacea (coneflowers) and rud- beckia (black-eyed Susan), ach- illea (yarrow), sedum, perennial grasses, old-world roses and even peonies. Ms. Carnegie said these plants, once established, don’t need much water or fertilizers to survive. Ms. Sliva suggested looking for plants that grow in rocky plac- es and that are grey, since these tend to be drought-resis- tant, too. Remember vines such as shrubs, trees and grasses. Speaking of grasses, what about the lawn? Forget it. “Turn it into a garden,” Ms. Sliva said. Grow food instead of lawns, she said. Vegetables are practical but there are also ones that look good such as kale and swiss chard. For water, put out the old rain barrel and use that collected rain water to water your garden, Ms. Sliva said. Ms. Carnegie said lawns and gardens, with the right plants, only require one inch of water a week. She recommends using a tuna can or get a rain gauge from Durham Region to measure the amount of rain or water each week. Grass should be kept no shorter than 2 1/2 to 3 inches. “If it’s brown, it’s not dead, it’s dormant,” Ms. Sliva said. Do your own composting and use that rich material in your gar- den and use natural ways to con- trol pests. She suggests www.wildflow- erfarm as a great place to find native plants. It’s in Orillia.

How green is your garden? newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 8, 200911 AP Scholarship, the Millennium Excellence Scholarship and other awards in recog- nition of his struggles, achievements and community contributions. Drew was born deaf, but his parents didn’t know it until he was nine months old, mistaking his reaction to light and shadows to that of sound. He has cochlear paralysis, which pre- vents nerve endings required for hearing from responding to sound. Drew received hearing aids and wore them until he was 12, but they didn’t work well. The hearing aids increased the sound of everything in an attempt to move the nerve endings in the cochlear. After that, he received cochlear implants, which electrically shock the nerve end- ings to register movement. The difference the implants make is amazing and, sometimes, it’s easy to forget how difficult things were without them, he said. Growing up, he had a tough time under- standing people and sometimes had out- bursts that would result in fights. In class, he didn’t want to ask for help for fear of standing out. Leaving French class to go work with his deaf-specialist teacher, Melissa Church of the Durham Catholic District School Board, was also frustrat- ing, he said. It bothered him that he had to work extra hard and re-learn lessons just to be at the same level as hearing kids. But Ms. Church pushed him hard, sometimes causing him to storm out in frustration. She got him to do his work and to ask for clarification when needed. Looking back, it was actually good that she pushed him so hard, he added. Ms. Church helped him find the con- fidence to compete in sports and modi- fy his approach to play visually. He does better at individual sports, such as track and field, compared to team sports that require listening to instructions. While in school, he started sign-lan- guage clubs -- in Grade 9 at Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School and in Grade 12 at Pickering High School. Drew learned sign language from Ms. Church and by attending the Ontario Camp for the Deaf. His parents sent him to the camp because they wanted him to be exposed to deaf culture. While there, he took out his hearing aid so he could really know what it is to not hear and signed for two weeks. “It was a completely different world from the hearing world,” he said. Since then, he has continued going back to camp and has volunteered as a counsellor. As Drew got older, he realized there’s a stigma attached to being deaf that causes people to be feel embarrassed about signing sometimes. At Canada’s Won- derland, he saw some people from camp trying to communicate without sign lan- guage so they wouldn’t draw attention. He realized it was his responsibility to teach others to sign to help them com- municate openly. A friend’s dad, who is deaf, told a cashier at McDonald’s that he can lip read, but the employee still asked his daughter what he wanted to order. Providing edu- cation on deaf culture can help prevent that and help deaf people operate in a hearing world, he added. “When you hear deaf, you think noth- ing,” Drew said. “They underestimate their ability.” He stopped feeling sorry for himself in Grade 11, after participating in a speech- writing contest with the theme, Why me? Why not? In writing it, he saw the bad was necessary in making him prove he could be as good as anyone. So far, he has provided more than 1,000 volunteer hours. He was president of IMPACT, a social justice group, as well. A movie fanatic, Drew has been suc- cessful in drama, directing a high school production and winning a festival award. He’s taking film production at York Uni- versity to help send his message that no matter what challenges you face, you can make a difference. To do that, he’s hop- ing to make films using the fictional style, but based on true stories.

The incident occurred on the same day a man was sentenced to life in prison for the abduction and murder of a trucker whose body was found in Pickering three years ago. In Thursday’s incident, Peel police said a trucker was accosted by several armed suspects as he left Mississau- ga. The truck was driven to a location in Ajax and the cargo, $79,000 worth of electronics, was unloaded, Peel police Sergeant Zahir Shah said. “Investigators believe it was unloaded in Ajax but they aren’t saying specifically where,” he said. Media reports indicated the skids of electronics were taken off the truck in south Ajax. Sgt. Shah said OPP were made aware of the incident when the driver pulled off on Hwy. 401 at about 4 p.m. after being released by the suspects. The driver was not hurt, he said. While cargo thefts are not unusual, this incident was remarkable in that the suspects appear to have upped the stakes by abducting and confining the driver, Sgt. Shah said. “We certainly have these types of thefts but usually they’re thefts as opposed to robberies,” he said. The hijacking occurred on the same day that Paul Cyr, of Montreal, was sentenced to life in prison for the abduction and killing of 35-year-old Donald Woods, a Brockville-area trucker whose body was discovered in his rig in Pickering on June 23, 2006. Mr. Woods’s cargo, $40,000 of air-chilled chicken, was stolen and resold. Jurors returned with a verdict of guilty to first-degree murder Tuesday afternoon. Durham cops seize $3M in drugs in massive strike DURHAM -- Dozens of people have been arrested and drugs with an estimated street value in excess of $3 mil- lion have been seized in a massive strike by Durham police against street-level trafficking. Officers with Durham’s Drug Enforcement Unit also seized weapons including firearms and a stun gun, more than $16,000 in cash and vehicles deemed to the proceeds of crime in the months-long investigation, dubbed Project Wolverine. Undercover cops spent three months conducting street-level drug transactions as they gathered evidence for the bust. Most of the work took place in Oshawa, Whitby and Pickering, police said. More than 260 charges have been laid against 54 suspects ranging from a 17-year-old girl to two Toronto men, aged 53. Among those charged were a Toronto hos- pital employee allegedly peddling oxycontin tablets stolen from work and a Scarborough marijuana grow-op owner who advertised his product on the online classified service Craig’s List, police said. The majority of the illicit drugs seized consisted of mar- ijuana; police took more than 303 kilograms of pot, valued at more than $3 million, off the street. Other drugs included 400 grams of crack and powder cocaine valued at $40,000; 280 oxycontin tablets worth more than $5,000; 374 ecstasy pills valued at more than $7,000, and quantities of LSD and psilocybin. Weapons seized during the investigation include a .32 calibre handgun, a sawed-off .303 rifle, and a stun gun. Police also seized four vehicles as offence-related prop- erty.

The blaze broke out just before 4 a.m. on July 5 on a rural prop- erty on Rosebank Road. Durham Regional Police report the property owner awoke in her home to see the barn engulfed in flames. Pickering Fire Services and the police responded, but the fire was too advanced for firefighters to enter the barn, where the horses, equestrian equipment and supplies were kept. The complainant wasn’t injured, nor were there any injuries to firefighters. Investigators with the fire service and police are try- ing to determine the cause of the blaze, but preliminary findings indicate it may be accidental in nature. The estimated damage is about $100,000.

Ontario Provincial Police report on June 27, at 10:12 p.m., a 45-year-old Uxbridge man was arrested and later released on a promise to appear in court in Orillia on July 21.

Tom Quinn, the City’s chief adminis- trative officer, confirmed Mr. Almond is “one of my deputy fire chiefs. “He has charges. Until July 21, I’m really kind of stuck. I really don’t have a comment,” Mr. Quinn added. “In one part or the other, it will be a legal matter. It’s not appropriate to com- ment until he’s had his day in court.” Mr. Almond is currently on a three- week holiday break, Mr. Quinn stated.

CRIME Pickering deputy fire chief facing impaired charge DURHAM -- The second annual Sick Kids Charity Golf Tournament tees off on July 25. Local resident Cortnie Henry started the event last year. She teaches dance and was inspired by one of her students, Madison Scott, who was diagnosed with leukemia in 2007. Ms. Henry said learning about Madison’s battle made her realize how many people have been touched by the work of the Hos- pital for Sick Children. Last year, the tournament raised $7,000 for the Sick Kids Foundation -- this year’s goal is $10,000. The event is at Glen Cedars Golf Club in Pickering and costs $150 per golfer, which includes 18 holes of golf, cart, lunch, din- ner, snacks and a prize valued at $75. Non- golfers are invited to come for dinner at 5 p.m. for $50. Hole sponsorships are available for $120, and organizers are still looking for prize donations.

The accomplishments of more than 60 people were highlighted during a recent Student Recognition Night, held in part- nership between Durham District School Board and the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation District 13. Among those recognized was Pickering High School student Lee-Ann Barlow who has come out of the shadows to reveal her- self as a leader. “It was really nice,” said Lee-Ann, a Pickering resident. “I think it’s good to encourage students who are actively put- ting an effort in.” Generally, unless you do something miraculous, it’s hard to get recognition for what you do, she said. “It’s nice to see other people know you’re making a differ- ence as well,” she said. From primarily participating in music in Grade 9 and 10, her involvement in the school has grown over the years to include becoming a founding member and now president of PEACE (Peer Effort for an Assertive and Compassionate Environ- ment), an anti-bullying group near to her heart. “Both my brother and I were bullied a lot when we were little,” Lee-Ann said. She was smart, quiet and tall and the dif- ference attracted attention, she added. “Kids are cruel to kids that are different,” Lee-Ann said. “That sort of stayed with both of us.” In Grade 7 and Grade 8, she started to move into leadership roles, but in Grade 9, she was back to the bottom of the heap. In high school, she became involved in groups with smaller memberships which led her to take a leadership role. “From that, I guess I gained confidence in myself and my ability and carried it into other things as well,” Lee Ann said. In Grade 10, she became part of the Pickering High School Gay-Straight Alli- ance, of which she was also a founding member. At first, the group experienced some controversy with people calling it the gay club, but since then things have calmed down. She’s now also co-president of the envi- ronmental club. Her most significant achievement is get- ting other people involved as well, she added. Lee-Ann also volunteers outside the school as a youth leader for World Vision and the Canadian Cancer Society.

METROLAND FILE PHOTO AJAX -- Pickering High School’s Lee-Ann Barlow was one of a number of Durham District School Board secondary school students honoured for their leadership in the community and at their schools. The last bell of the school year has rung— before the book bag is put away for the sum- mer, take a few moments to take stock of this past school year. Did your child encounter any academic obsta- cles? Were there trouble spots? Unfinished projects? Homework issues? Summer is the perfect time to catch up in any problem areas. Your student even has the ability to reach ahead this summer. Studies have shown time and again that on average, students lose approximately 2.6 months of grade-level equivalency in mathe- matical computational skills during the summer months. This means that when students head back to school in the fall, they spend about 6 weeks reviewing and simply getting back into the swing of things rather than learning new material. Sure, kids deserve a break after the school year (we all do), but from an educational standpoint, these numbers are quite scary. There is good news though. Summer learning losses can easily be prevented with just a few hours a week of summer learning. Now con- sider how much more prepared for success your child will be after a summer including some mentally stimulating activity. It’s easy to keep the brain stimulated—a few hours a week is all it takes! Tip: Don’t exclude summer school from your summer planning because of any stereotypes you may hold. Summer school is a great oppor- tunity. There is typically less pressure, and your child can get the individual attention that he or she may not be getting during the school year. With these very important thoughts in mind, doesn’t it make sense to include a little learning in your child’s summer? Summer programs at Oxford Learning make it easy. Call Oxford in Ajax 683-6660 or Pickering 420-3141 today and beat summer learning losses for good and get your child ready for success in school next year.

Passed over in the NHL draft when he was eligible in 2008, the free agent from Pickering has signed a three-year deal with the New York Rangers. “New York came out of the shadows and made an offer right before the draft, so it was kind of unexpected,” says Chappell, noting that a number of teams expressed an interest in signing him, but were going to wait until after the June 26-27 NHL draft. He signed the contract on June 30 while at a conditioning camp in New York, and hasn’t had a chance to celebrate just yet, though he says a celebration is definitely pending. “I didn’t get a chance to cele- brate because I was at the camp and it was a lot of hard work so I couldn’t really celebrate right away,” he laughs. The 21-year-old captain appeared in all 68 games with the Saginaw Spirit of the Ontario Hockey League last season, regis- tering 38 goals and 38 assists for 76 points, along with 88 penalty minutes. He established career- highs in games played, goals, assists, points and penalty min- utes. He also led the team and tied for third in the OHL with 18 power-play goals, while his 38 goals tied for eighth in the league. Chappell was selected to repre- sent the Western Conference in the OHL All-Star Classic. In the playoffs, he recorded two goals and six assists for eight points in eight playoff contests with Sagi- naw. The 6-foot-4, 209-pounder skat- ed in 248 career OHL games with Saginaw, recording 70 goals and 84 assists for 154 points, along with 243 penalty minutes. The left winger played four seasons with Saginaw, drafted in the 11th round in 2004 following two sea- sons with the Pickering Panthers (2003-04, 2004-05) of the Tier II Jr. A League. His four years in the OHL went by quickly. “It seems like just yesterday that I started,” he says. “It does go by very quick. You just can’t waste a minute of it.” Despite being drafted so late into the OHL, and passed over in his NHL draft year in 2008, Chap- pell persevered to reach his ulti- mate goal. “You can’t judge how your hock- ey career is going to turn out by where you get drafted or if you get drafted,” he says. “You just have to continue to work hard. If there is something you want to achieve, anything is possible.” He expects to head to training camp with the Rangers in Sep- tember, but until then, plans to stay home and to work out in preparation of becoming a pro.

SWIMMING Gomba to swim with Mustangs Pickering swimmer off to University of Western Ontario BY BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Adam Gomba is going to get his wish. For the past couple of years, the 18-year-old has been forced to push himself at practices with the Pickering Swim Club, void of another swimmer of his calibre to be challenged by. That will all change in the fall. The Pickering resident is off to the University of Western Ontar- io to join the Mustangs’ swim team, where he will be enrolled in the social science program. “I liked the facilities and I really liked the team when I was there,” he says from the pool deck at the Pickering Recreation Complex just prior to an afternoon prac- tice. “When I went there, I just felt like this is where I could be. “I’m excited to be on the West- ern team and push myself against other guys. Maybe things will change and I will get really fast, or maybe they won’t go that way. I just want to see what happens.” A member of the club since the age of nine, it was the suc- cess of Australian Ian Thorpe in the pool during the 2000 Olym- pics that prompted Gomba, who watched along on TV, to join the local club. He went right into the competitive program and won his first race. It was just the start of endless trips to the medal podium. He reached the provincial level and by age 13 represented the club at the Eastern champion- ships for Canada. Just three years later, at age 16, he was compet- ing against the best in the coun- try at Nationals. “A self, inner motivation,” says the Dunbarton grad of one of the reason behind his success. “Wanting to get to a goal and forcing yourself to do it every single day and getting there. “My coaches wouldn’t let me ease up on myself, especial- ly when I was trying to make Nationals. It was so hard and I had come so close. “You can’t give up. You just have to keep going and believe you can do it.” It’s this kind of attitude that bodes well for his future at the next level. “It will be a good change for him to go and swim with the big guys,” said Anne Ottenbrite- Muylaert, head age group coach in Pickering. “It’s always a new challenge to look forward to when you go off to university. To combine academics and swim- ming can be a big challenge in the first year. The commitment in the water is the same, but the (school) workload increases.” His accomplishments will remain behind, however, as he holds a number of club records and has been inducted into the club’s Wall of Fame.

The tournament was comprised of teams from all over the United States and a few from Canada. In the 14U division, the DRVC girls were seeded fifth out of 71 teams. Despite high- er nets and different rules, the girls lost only one game over three days. After play- ing American teams, the girls faced another Ontar- io team, the Stewartville Stingers, in the gold-medal match of the bronze divi- sion, winning 25-14 and 25-16. It was the team’s fourth gold medal of the season to go with one silver and one bronze. The team began the sea- son with a top four finish in its first tournament, the 15U Provincial Cup, in Welland, then went on to finish in first place at the 14U Pro- vincial Cup in Newmarket. The next tournament was the 14U McGregor Cup where the team continued its winning streak, earning a gold medal, before trav- elling to North Bay for the Challenge Cup, where it won a bronze medal. Playing up a division in the 15U Challenge Cup, the girls won another gold medal, beating five 15U teams and one other 14U team, then grabbed anoth- er gold in Brighton at the 14U Hawkins Cup. At the South County CAN/AM 14U Tournament in Windsor, playing Ameri- can rules for the first time, the girls finished a respect- able fourth place. They closed out the reg- ular season by earning a silver medal at the Girls’ Open in Ottawa. The girls went into the OVA Provincials seeded second in all of Ontario, but came up short of another medal. The DRVC 14U team is comprised of Cydney Blyth (middle), Brianna Brunt (setter), Matty Burnfield (power), Heather-Ann Burrell (power), Taylor Bursey (middle/power), Ally Legree (power), Oliv- ia Michaud (setter), Paige O’Leary (setter), Laura Par- ent (middle), Mackenzie Prins (middle) and Shawna Young (setter/power/libe- ro).
